ERBIL, Iraq — A religiously diverse group of women from Iraq’s Ninevah Plains launched a women's magazine called Women of Ninevah on March 8, International Women's Day, to give a voice to women's issues in the region.

The Ninevah Plains and Mosul endured the worst of the fighting with the Islamic State (IS), which killed and enslaved thousands — particularly minorities and women — in the ethnically and religiously diverse area.
